TYSON FURY blasted “big p***y” Deontay Wilder for missing their media duty as he was afraid of being “humilated” by the Gypsy King.
The heavyweight duo finally confirmed their rematch set for February 22 in Las Vegas, with the pair looking to settle the score after their contentious draw in December 2018.

But Fury, 31, wasted no time in kicking off the verbal warfare with the WBC champion as he accused Wilder of purposely missing their media commitments to promote the title fight.
The Gypsy King urged the WBC champion’s managers Al Haymon and Shelly Finkel to keep the Bronze Bomber away from him, or else he will be “taken to school”.
Fury said: “This is Tyson Fury AKA the Gypsy King this is a message to Deontay the Bronze Bomber the big p***y Wilder.
“He’s not turned up to any of the media events today, blagging he’s got the flu because he doesn’t want to be in the same room as me because I’ll take him to school.
“His management team and his full team are afraid to put Deontay Wilder in the same room as Tyson Fury, facts.
“Keep him away Al, keep him away Shelly, keep him away his wife, keep him away his wife.
“Deontay, what a little bitch you’ve become. You can’t even come and see me and be face-to-face with me as you know you’ll be taken to school… p***y.”
Since their Los Angeles draw, Fury went on to beat Tom Schwarz and Otto Wallin in Vegas this year to help increase his Stateside profile ahead of the rematch.
But he did so with trainer and close friend Ben Davison in his corner, but just seven weeks away from the Wilder rematch the pair split.
The unbeaten Brit will now be trained by Javan ‘Sugar’ Hill, the nephew of legendary coach Emanuel Steward.
During Fury’s aforementioned media duty this week, he explained the switch to train in the US came out of fear he was getting too “stale”.
He explained on ESPN’s College Game Day: “We’re gonna go back to basics.
“I trained with SugarHill Steward back in 2010, we got on like a house on fire.
“I was going a little bit stale, repetitive, doing the same things day in, day out for years. I needed a change.”
